The habits we repeat, the boundaries we avoid, the environments we stay in too long, and the stories we tell ourselves about not having time or not deserving more. We'll explore: Why self-sabotage often looks small, familiar, and harmless How tolerating the same patterns year after year keeps you disconnected from your purpose A powerful 3–5 year reflection to help you see what's actually repeating How your orbit, habits, and beliefs are shaping your future Simple next steps to start breaking patterns without overwhelming yourself Using my Bold Bridge framework, we'll walk through what it really means to break through barriers, own your impact, lead with courage, and design your future, starting with small, intentional shifts that compound over time.

    What Your Employees Are Telling Me That They Won't Tell You

    Employees often share more than leaders realize, just not always in places where it feels safe to be fully honest. In this episode of Embrace Your Inner Boldness, leadership coach Melissa Henning-Frank shares the common themes of what employees open up about in coaching sessions, workshops, and confidential conversations. She explores the real drivers behind burnout, disengagement, employee retention challenges, and the quiet pull of recruiters' inboxes. This episode unpacks what it means for employees to feel safe, seen, and supported at work, how everyday micro-behaviors shape workplace culture, and why exhaustion, apathy, and stress are often early signals of misalignment rather than performance issues. Designed for leaders, managers, and HR professionals, this conversation offers insight into the emotional experience of employees, the limits of traditional leadership training, and how purpose, energy, and humanity influence engagement and long-term retention.

    The Ripple Effect of Leadership Burnout

    Leadership burnout doesn't stay contained. It shows up in meetings that feel rushed, decisions that stall, and teams that quietly stop asking questions. In this episode, we explore how burnout at the leadership level shapes team dynamics, culture, and day-to-day work in ways that often go unnamed. You'll hear real, relatable examples of what teams experience when leaders are stretched thin, from lack of clarity to emotional unpredictability to stalled growth. We also talk about what can help, not just from leaders themselves, but from direct reports and peers who want to steady the environment and reduce the strain. This conversation is for leaders, team members, and anyone who has felt the weight of a workplace that feels heavier than it needs to.

    How Self Trust & Creativity Reveals Your Purpose

    Are you feeling stuck, exhausted, or questioning your purpose? This episode explores why you won't find your life purpose while living in survival mode, hustle mode, or constant worry. Purpose doesn't reveal itself when your nervous system is constantly activated and you're stuck in coping mode. When life feels heavy, many of us turn to consumption as a way to numb, distract, or get through the day. But coping isn't the same as living, and purpose can't breathe there. In this episode, we talk about how creativity is essential to discovering your purpose. Creation puts you into a flow state where your nervous system can settle, clarity comes more easily, and you reconnect with who you were before the world told you who to be. This is often where purpose begins to unfold, not all at once, but through small, honest acts of creation. We also explore the pressure to do everything, the noise of other people's opinions, and why you're not meant to fix it all. You're here to contribute your piece in your way. When you stop waiting for permission, release perfectionism, and trust what lights you up, forward momentum becomes possible again. If you've been asking yourself what you're meant to do with your life or feeling disconnected from your passion, this episode is an invitation to shift from consuming to creating and start trusting yourself again. Purpose doesn't arrive fully formed. It reveals itself through creativity, action, and self-trust. Listen in and ask yourself: What will I create today?

    Finding & Living Your Purpose With Curiosity

    Have you ever felt like there has to be more than this? Are you burnt out at work and wondering what we're even here for? Are you a leader trying to figure out why your employees are so disengaged? In this episode, I'm talking about purpose, deeper meaning, and that quiet knowing so many of us have carried since childhood but didn't always have the space or language to talk about. I share personal reflections on growing up in survival mode, living in my imagination, and holding onto one small thing to look forward to each day as a way through hard times. We explore why purpose isn't something you "find" after suffering enough, but something you begin to live when you get curious and remember who you were before the world told you who to be. This episode is for the deep thinkers, the question-askers, the ones who've felt out of place in systems that reward performance over aliveness. Inside the episode: why curiosity is the starting point of purpose how small joys and creativity carry us through hard seasons the lie we've been told about being practical vs. being creative why burnout and purpose are often colliding, especially at work simple ways to begin living your purpose without blowing up your life If you've ever felt weird for the way your mind works, exhausted by burnout, or pulled toward something more meaningful but couldn't name it, this conversation is for you. Start small. Stay curious. Trust the gifts that have been carrying you all along. Stay tuned to this frequency by connecting with me and joining my email list!
